quote is from the Washington Times

Four pro-lifers who participated in the September 15, 2017 Red Rose Rescue were called “good people” by the judge who presided over their two-day jury trial that took place Feb. 15-16 in a Sterling Heights, MI. court room. Judge Michael R. Rumona praised the pro-lifers for their “good cause”, said that “as a Catholic” he agreed with their “pro-life convictions”—words that came in the sentencing phase of the court proceedings after a six person jury convicted the pro-lifers of trespassing at the Northland Family Planning abortion center operated by Michigan abortion provider Renee Chelian who attended the trial with her daughter, her private attorney Eileen Scheff and other clinic staff.

On September 15, 2018 Monica Migliorino Miller of Citizens for a Pro-life Society entered the Sterling Heights, Michigan abortion center with Will Goodman, Matthew Connolly and Indiana State university student Abby McIntyre. They offered red roses to all those seated in the waiting room and spoke with the mothers seated there just minutes before their unborn children were scheduled to be killed. They offered material help to the mothers, emotional support, words of encouragement hoping to persuade the mothers to leave the clinic and give life to their children. They also remained in the clinic in peaceful solidarity with the unborn about to be aborted as their mere presence served as an act of defense for them.

the unborn
at the Northland Family
Planning abortion center.

The pro-lifers’ attorney Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center asked the judge to permit the “defense of necessity” –a common law defense that says a civil law may be broken to prevent a greater evil from occurring—in this case the greater evil being the killing of innocent unborn children. However the motion was denied because the unborn are not recognized as persons under the law and abortion is a constitutionally protected act thus no injury is caused when abortions are performed of which the judiciary need take notice. During jury selection one prospective juror said that she was a Catholic, said she was pro-life, and that if she knew someone was getting an abortion she would talk them out of it. Prosecutor Don DeNault could have struck her from the jury, but rather amazingly he did not and she was seated. Nonetheless she wound up voting with the other five jurors to convict the pro-lifers.

All four defendants took the stand and under cross examination by the Sterling Heights city prosecutor spoke eloquently and forthrightly of the injustice of abortion, comparing it to slavery and the holocaust of the Jews in Europe, and told the jury that when laws are unjust everyone has a duty to oppose such laws, do nothing to aid and abet their application, including the jurors themselves, police officers, prosecutors and judges. DeNault asked defendant Miller: “When officers of the court such as myself have swore an oath to uphold the law, what would you have a prosecutor do?” The packed courtroom erupted in laughter when Miller replied: “Well, I would hope that a prosecutor such as yourself would not prosecute pro-life people such as us!”

The jury panel consisted of six jurors and one alternate—but the alternate was removed from the jury by a blind lottery just prior to jury deliberation. The juror who left the panel came back into the court still eager to know the outcome of the case. He told the pro-lifers that had he remained on the jury he would have voted to acquit, no matter what the others wanted to do. The juror, whose first name was Vince, explained that his wife was pregnant with their second child and he also said that a picketer was outside of the court earlier that morning holding a sign of an abortion victim and he had been very moved by the image. Needless to say the defendants were disappointed Vince did not remain on the jury.

Though the defendants told Judge Rumona that they preferred to serve a jail sentence to probation, payment of fines or community service, Rumona nonetheless imposed a two year (non-reporting) probation on all four pro-lifers. Nonetheless, Renee Chelian and her clinic staff shook their heads and stomped out of the court apparently in reaction to the pro-lifers receiving a “light sentence.” Undoubtedly the abortion providers were also unhappy by the praise given to the pro-lifers by the judge as well as the prosecutor DeNault who said: “This was not the usual trial with usual criminals. I believe these are good people.” This description of the pro-lifers contradicted the way in which defendants were characterized by an abortion clinic staffer in the Feb. 14th Macomb Daily newspaper in which she called the pro-lifers “terrorists.”

Every witness for the prosecution which included four police officers and an abortion clinic staff person repeatedly described the pro-lifers as “peaceful” telling the jury “they handed out red roses, never raised their voices and sang Amazing Grace.”

Attorney Robert Muise intends to file an appeal and will ask the higher court to stay the two year probation pending the outcome of the appeal.

Monica Migliorino Miller states: “My biggest concern in the days leading up to the trial was that we would have the courage to speak up for the unborn in court, that we would not allow the court system to intimidate us. We wanted to continue to stand up for the babies, to speak up for them, to advocate justice for them—and thankfully we were able to do that. In the end, with the unborn left unrecognized, we were able to at least tell the world that they do exist, and abortion is violence against them.”

Northland Family Planning abortion center kills the unborn
through the 24th week of gestation. This is hand of baby
aborted at 20 weeks.

Defendant Will Goodman states: “In the Red Rose Rescue we seek to abide with the outcast members of the human family—those hidden, unseen, unwanted persons. We seek to help their mothers and seek to be in solidarity with the victims of abortion. We hope others will be inspired to participate in Red Rose Rescues. The more often we do this, the greater the possibility that the moms in the clinics will leave and their babies spared the injustice of abortion.”

The next trial for Red Rose Rescuers Monica Miller, Will Goodman, Matthew Connolly, Patrice Woodworth and Robert Kolavy will take place Tuesday Feb. 20th, in the 48th District Court, 4280 Telegraph Rd, Bloomfield Hills, MI before Judge Marc Barron, beginning at 8:30am.

New Book Explains Why Abortion
Victim Photography is Essential
in Ending the Killing of the Unborn

Here is the definitive book-treatment of the role and use of abortion victim photos in the pro-life cause.

I really want to encourage you all to buy a copy of this very insightful treatment of a subject that continues to be debated in the movement!

Your CPLS director is honored to have penned the preface—and also most honored that the cover photo was taken by your CPLS director. This photo is the foot of a 21 week old aborted baby—an African American baby killed in March 1987 at the Michigan Avenue Medical Center, 30 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL. Members of CPLS and the Pro-life Action League retrieved this baby with 600 other aborted children tossed in the trash in the alley behind the clinic.

Please buy this book—(see link below) It is endorsed by many nationally-known pro-life leaders—

You will find here the most important and compelling arguments as to why abortion victim photos are essential to the advancement of the cause of life.

Indeed, your CPLS director who has taken thousands of photos of aborted babies, someone who has given the subject of the use of such photos in the defense of the unborn a great deal of thought—even I learned NEW PERSPECTIVES from this book and was really blown away by author Jonathon Van Maren’s unique insights.

Seeing is Believing is a powerful examination of social reform movements of the past to extract the timeless principles of exposing injustice. He reveals the tactics abortion activists fear the most, and explores the hidden nightmares of abortion industry workers.

Pro-life people should take hope from this book. When the injustice of abortion is exposed, minds are changed, and lives are saved.

Here are just a few 2016 highlights and
please enjoy the most beautiful Hymn appropriate for this Holy Season,
sung at the April 29, 2016 CPLS event--

CPLS continues to help women in difficult pregnancies.
We turned a number of women away from abortion,
especially at the Summit Women’s Services in Detroit.
We planned a number of pickets there,
co-sponsored by Pro-Life Detroit.

his child. Notice the sidewalk that we chalked with pro-life
messages!

CPLS is a National Organizer for the Nationwide Protest PP events.
Hundreds of Planned Parenthood Clinics were protested April 23rd.

And we always participate locally as well!
We were at the PP abortion clinic in Detroit—and faced a counter
demonstration of Satanists who subjected us to their most bizarre
and incoherent street theater.

CPLS is also one of the National Organizers for the Annual National
Day of Remembrance for Aborted Babies.
180 memorial services took place on September 10th all over the country.
Sandra Merritt, David Daleiden’s partner in the Planned Parenthood
under-cover videos that exposed PP’s harvesting and sale of aborted baby
body parts, was the special guest for the CPLS service at Holy Sepulchre
Cemetery in Southfield, MI. 23 babies CPLS retrieved from the trash of
the Alberto Hodari Woman Care abortion clinic in Lathrup Village are
laid to rest there.

Here Tina Tarrant helps children place flowers
on the babies’ grave.

April 29th CPLS hosted David
Daleiden of the Center for
Medical Progress. It was a great event. 500 people were
in attendance to hear this hero of the pro-life movement
talk about what it meant for him to do create the
under-cover Planned Parenthood videos that rocked the
abortion giant and may result in their hideous $500.000
dollar tax funding to finally come to an end!

In May 2016 CPLS was at the University of Notre Dame.
Once again Notre Dame honored a pro-abortion public official at
its student commencement. This time it conferred the coveted
Laetare Medal on Vice President Joe Biden! CPLS was there to
protest this outrage. CPLS also blitzed the parking lot outside
the Joyce Center with literature explaining the scandal Notre Dame
caused by giving honor to someone who supports a law that sends
millions of innocent people to their deaths all in contradiction
to the faith of the Church!

In 2016 CPLS published this brand new
pro-life educational tool—The 40 page booklet:

each photo of a baby lost to abortion taken by your CPLS director is
paired with insightful, moving and inspiring reflections—featuring

Abby Johnson and others!

We hope that this very unique literature will be used by sidewalk
counselors, pregnancy help centers, given out to those who support
abortion and will really make a contribution to ending the killing
of the unborn!

The final report from the Synod is out. Those concerned about the
hijacking of the faith in a heterodox direction can breathe a sigh of relief as
the new report scraps language in the draft that appeared to approve of, or find
“value” in, the homosexual “orientation” and also because it does not take up
the issue of Holy Communion for the divorced and remarried. This proposal in the
final version failed to gain the needed two thirds support of the bishops. This
does not necessarily mean that this hugely troublesome proposal will simply be
shelved in some dark closet of the Vatican. We must be prepared to provide
well-reasoned arguments against what may be called the Cardinal Kasparian
agenda. It’s not too early to put those arguments forward in anticipation of
next year’s Ordinary Synod. This article responds to two recently articulated
arguments in favor of admitting divorced and remarried Catholics to Holy
Communion.

It is clear that Cardinal Walter Kasper, joined by a majority of German bishops
and other European prelates, did all he could to facilitate this major pastoral
change. While Kasper acknowledged there can be no change in Church doctrine on
the indissolubility of sacramental marriage—there is no way of getting around
the fact that were such a pastoral change ever to be made it would undermine
Catholic teaching on marriage and legitimize adulterous unions contrary to the
teachings of Christ.

It is important for the pro-life movement to begin to think about
the
effective use of abortion victim photos. As someone who has
spent countless
hours photographing the victims of abortion,
I offer this critique for your
consideration.

An Analysis of the
Effective Use
of Abortion Victim Photos

by Monica Migliorino Miller

Nationally known, veteran pro-life leader Monica Migliorino Miller, director of
Citizens for a Pro-Life Society urges the Pro-life Movement to reconsider and
re-evaluate the necessary role that abortion victim photos (AVPs) play in
bringing about an end to legalized abortion and establishing respect for human
life.

Miller is one of the few pro-lifers who has actually retrieved aborted babies
from the trash and photographed their broken remains. See:
http://imagesofabortion.com
.

This blog highlights some of Miller’s important points with the goal of
prompting discussion and new thinking on this important topic that continues to
be hotly debated even within the ranks of the Pro-Life Movement.

“Graphic Images” or “Abortion Victim Photos”? No longer should pictures of aborted babies be referred to as “graphic images”.
The movement should drop that term entirely. These images should be called
“abortion victim photos” (AVPs for short) because that is what they are really
all about and, moreover, not all photos of abortion victims, while disturbing,
are necessarily graphic in nature. The term “abortion victim photos” is
terminology that also advocates for the subject of the photos—as these are
abortion victims—and not merely graphic images— words that give the instant
impression that the subject matter is simply gruesome or repulsive which is not
the point of the photos. Using the term AVPs aids the cause for the unborn, as
the subjects of the photos are victims of injustice and the language we use
should be aimed at helping others make that connection.

Life is Short – Use Better Abortion PhotosWhile every photo of an abortion victim may be a true depiction of the abortion
procedure and what happened to the unborn child, this does not mean that every
photo is equal in terms of its effectiveness in raising awareness of the
injustice of abortion. Pro-lifers need to begin to think more critically about
the kinds of abortion victim photos they choose to display. Pro-lifers often
tend to think that the bloodier photos are the more effective photos. This is
not necessarily true.

Whatever photos are selected, the subject of the photo, namely the abortion
victim, should be easily recognized, the humanity of the unborn baby the central
and immediate focus. Thus photos in which the blood and guts, visceral matter
overwhelms, even submerges the abortion victim should be set aside in favor of
photos in which the abused victim is easily recognized with whom the viewer can
immediately identify—as opposed to emphasis on gruesome factors that are more
likely to repel the viewer.

We really want the viewer to see the abortion victim and not just a “graphic
image” of an abortion. It should be realized that all that blood featured in
some abortion victim photos is not the blood of the baby—it is the blood of the
mother that attends the abortion procedure. Even for this reason the visceral
material in the photo should be secondary to the actual abortion victim.

The 3 photos below are examples of AVPs in which the subject of the photo is
overwhelmed by, immersed in blood matter and uterine tissue.

While photos 4, 5, 6 and 7 below are graphic, the aborted baby is clearly the
focus of the image. Blood and other matter are secondary to the subject.

Not All Abortion Victim Photos are Graphic Images
This is a distinction that is not in any way sufficiently appreciated especially
by those in the Pro-Life Movement who oppose the use of AVPs— and who certainly
reject their public display. We need to begin to appreciate that AVPs represent
a spectrum from very graphic to much less graphic images. Given that such a
distinction exists, those who oppose their use have very little foundation upon
which to do so. Some images certainly and rightly demonstrate the violence of
abortion in all its graphic horror—the shattered remnants of bodies torn apart.
Other images however, while still obviously depicting abortion victims, are
truly less graphic in nature. Thus perhaps we can begin to move these arguments
along that
1) AVPs, whether graphic or less so, are necessary to the success of the
pro-life cause and
2) Choosing less graphic images is an option and
3) The use of AVPs is central to the pro-life cause and thus those who use AVPs
are not the fringe element of the Movement but
mainstream pro-lifers.

The photos below, while disturbing, are not overtly graphic—indeed some may
not be graphic at all.

Responses to the Most Common Objections

Children will see the AVPs The crisis of legalized abortion that has claimed the
lives of 56 million innocent human beings requires that the truth be publicly
exposed. The magnitude of the injustice overrides the possibility that children
will see the pictures. It simply makes no sense to forego the public exposure of
a national slaughter that has sent tens of millions of children to their deaths
for the sake of sparing children who might see the photos and be affected by
them. There is absolutely no proof that children who see such images suffer any
lasting negative effects.

Women who have had abortions will be disturbed by the AVPs The primary victims
of abortion are the millions of unborn children who perish under the law in a
violent death, in a nation that at least tolerates, and at worst advocates, such
killing. Again the enormity of the injustice requires that the public be
awakened to the slaughter. Furthermore there simply is no one-size-fits-all
response of post-abortive women to such images. In addition we should consider
how AVPs actually prevent women from getting abortions in the first place thus
sparing them a life of grief and regret.

CPLS DIRECTOR URGES
NEW DISCUSSION ON USE
OF
“GRAPHIC IMAGES”
IN PRO-LIFE WORK

The use of graphic images of
abortion victims in pro-life work has in more
recent decades become a point of conflict and debate within the pro-life
movement itself, especially the public display of such images. Monica Migliorino
Miller’s recently published article is an unprecedented comprehensive
examination of this issue. Published in the September 2013
New Oxford Review

The author has herself retrieved hundreds of aborted babies from trash
containers and spent hundreds of hours photographing the bodies. Miller argues
strongly that photos of abortion victims play a vital role in the efforts of the
right-to-life movement to establish respect for the lives of the unborn and
abolish the injustice of abortion. Among other areas of discussion Miller
provides a history of the use of these images in the pro-life movement. However,
she urges that the time has come for the movement to evaluate which photos of
abortion victims are most effective. This means pro-lifers should be more
critical and sophisticated in the selection of photos displayed in public, in
literature and educational materials. She states: “Not all abortion victim
photos are equal” and goes on to explain that it is a mistake that the “gorier
and bloodier the image, the more effective it will be in depicting the injustice
of abortion.”

Miller agrees that abortion victim photos will innately contain graphic
elements, but argues that such aspects of the photos must be secondary to the
subject of the abortion victims presented in the photos. To the viewer of a
“graphic image” the abortion victim must be immediately recognizably human.
Miller explains:

“Blood and extraneous uterine matter should not overwhelm the aborted baby in
the photo. Indeed even a kind of mathematical ratio can be used to evaluate the
usefulness of a graphic image. If the blood and gore is more than or even equal
to the actual baby—such a photo should be set aside in favor of an image in
which the actual human victim is primary. It is not only or primarily the
violence of abortion that pro-lifers should display to the world, but the actual
hidden and silent human victim of abortion will be the focus of the more
effective images.” Miller continues:

“The viewer of the image of an aborted baby should be able to identify with the
victim —
not simply be shocked or repulsed by the blood-drenched image. The photo should
provoke pathos, pity, sorrow, and a response to the injustice done to the baby,
whose humanity is obvious in the midst of the tragedy and violence. To the
majority of viewers whom pro-lifers are trying to reach, that first glance is
the most important — indeed, it might not just be the first glance but the only
glance — and thus its impact in drawing the viewer into the humanity of the
victim cannot be squandered.”

Miller also urges that the pro-life movement drop the term “graphic images” when
referring to photos of aborted babies. Many abortion photos—even effective ones
are indeed extremely “graphic images”—but the term itself does not capture or
encompass the essence of this type of photography. She states: “The movement
needs to stop using that term. Instead we should refer to these pictures as
“abortion victim photos” or “abortion victim photography.”

Distinctions exist between a graphic image that instantly repulses the viewer,
an image with an appropriate proportion of extraneous graphic elements, and
photos of abortion victims that certainly are disturbing, but in which the blood
and gore is nearly absent. Miller’s article calls for a deeper appreciation for
these distinctions and states: “Those who oppose the use of ‘graphic images’
need not necessarily oppose photos of abortion victims per se. Whatever side one
may take in the debate, given that a difference exists between an excessively
graphic image and an image of an abortion victim — between a repulsive image and
a disturbing image— pro-lifers who object to the use of all abortion-victim
photography should reexamine and move beyond that objection.”

Miller states: “There are many great pro-lifers who are dedicated to the display
of abortion victim photos. What they do is essential to the movement. Their work
should be supported and encouraged. I simply want to urge those of us on the
front lines to look at abortion victim photos in a new way—to not be threatened
or afraid to re-evaluate what we are doing and urge the selection of photos in
which the tragic victim of abortion ‘however graphic’ is primary and obvious.”

Pro-Lifers Mark Closing of East Dearborn Abortion Clinic

Photo: Section of crowd that gathered for a memorial service June 15th at the closed
American Family Planning abortion clinic in East Dearborn, MI. The clinic, open
for 20 years, closed April 12.

160 pro-lifers from the Detroit metro area gathered Saturday, June 15th in the
parking lot of the American Family Planning abortion clinic to mark the clinic's
closing and pay tribute to the thousands of unborn children aborted there in the
clinic's 20 year history. The clinic shut its doors April 12th when it's owner
Noon- Nahm Ann announced that he was retiring. However memorial service
organizer Monica Migliorino Miller of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society was told
by East Dearborn commercial properties inspector Keith Woodcock that Ann closed
the clinic as a consequence of new Michigan State law that requires any clinic
that performs 120 or more abortions per year to be license as an outpatient
ambulatory surgical treatment center and upgrade their facility in compliance
with the new safety regulations. The 73 year-old abortionist opted to shut his
clinic instead.

Saturday's memorial service featured Protestant pastors as well as Father Aaron
Depeyster of St. Sebastian Parish. Nationally known late-term abortion survivor
Melissa Ohden addressed the crowd as well as two women who had been talked out
of their scheduled abortions at the AFP clinic by members of Guadalupe Partners
--a group that co-sponsored the event.

American Family Planning is one of 10 Michigan abortion clinics that has closed
or been kept from opening in the past 18 months and the second clinic to close
as a consequence of the new Michigan state law that was passed to insure women's
safety after several Michigan abortion clinics were investigated by state
agencies for improper or even illegal medical practices.

a memorial service June 15th at the closed American Family Planning abortion

Miller states: "We look forward to the day when every abortion clinic across the
land will be closed, when every human life will be loved, accepted and honored--
when this culture of death will become a culture of life. Thousands of innocent
human beings lost their lives at the AFP clinic--their silent voices call us to
work for a culture of life--and to help all mothers everywhere so they will not
be tempted to kill their unborn babies."

New -- Great Review of Abandoned

Monica Migliorino Miller’s Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars
resists singular classification: It is equal parts memoir, documentary, and a
history of her pro-life work. Her exposé hails from the front lines of the war
on babies; it is packed with heart-wrenching drama that follows pro-life battles
on the ground and in the courtroom. Miller is founder of Citizens for a Pro-Life
Society and is associate professor of religious studies at Madonna University in
Michigan. She is also one of a small group of intrepid souls who dumpster-dived
to recover the destroyed bodies of abandoned, aborted babies, and arranged
burials and funeral Masses for thousands of them.

TWO MORE MICHIGAN ABORTION CENTERS ARE CLOSED!

ABORTED BABIES WERE FOUND IN THE DUMPSTER OF ONE THESE CLINICS IN 2008

As of Saturday, March 2, 2013 the Women’s Advisory abortion center located at
27549 Six Mile Road, Livonia, MI. has closed its doors forever!

In addition—its sister clinic, Sharpe’s Family Planning,16738 East Warren in
Detroit, is also NOW CLOSED and the building up for sale! Both clinics were
owned and operated by abortionist, Reginald Sharpe.

Women's Advisory abortion clinic-- CLOSED--Livonia, MI.

Sharpe's NOW CLOSED Detroit abortion clinic-- painted black!

The clinic closings were discovered by Livonia native and veteran pro-life
activist Lynn Mills, who has focused much of her pro-life efforts at the Women’s
Advisory clinic since it opened 31 years ago.

The Livonia Women’s Advisory clinic is the very same abortion center were in
2008 members of CPLS found the remains of aborted babies tossed in the clinic’s
trash dumpster, as well excessive bio- hazard waste and patient records all in
violation of Michigan State Statues and federal HIPAA law.

An eye of baby aborted April 2008 at the now closed Women's Advisory clinic,
Livonia, MI.

The discovery of the closing of the Livonia clinic was made Saturday morning
March 2nd when Lynn Mills and seven other pro-lifers were praying outside of the
facility. Noticing very little activity at the usually busy clinic Lynn asked a
friend to call the clinic and see if the clinic was taking any appointments. To
the utter astonishment of the pro-lifers, the clinic staff member said over the
phone that the clinic was “permanently closed.” The clinic staff member then
referred the pro-lifer to another clinic address where an abortion could be
obtained at Six Mile Road and Greenfield in Detroit.

This
clinic is none other than the Summit Women’s Center—the same abortion clinic
that hired notorious abortionist Robert Alexander after his house-of-horrors
clinic in Muskegon, MI. was forcibly shut down by the local fire marshal due to
its unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Apparently Summit adopts abortionists who
have no other place to go. However, Summit, after a few months, decided not to
employ Alexander’s services —possibly due to his negative reputation following
the adverse publicity surrounding his Muskegon facility. But is Reginald Sharpe
really any better?

Consider this:In 2005 Sharpe’s medical license was suspended due to a 3rd trimester abortion
at 27 weeks, an abortion performed in violation of Michigan state law that
permits elective abortions “only” through the 24 week. The order of Summary
Suspension charges Sharpe with “negligence, incompetence, and actions that
constitute lack of good moral character.” The clinic informed the woman that she
was “only” 23 weeks gestation.

at his Livonia clinic--
taken by Lynn Mills
in 2009.

After the abortion the women experienced severe physical trauma. She delivered a
dead baby at the clinic while Sharpe had already left to do abortions at his
Detroit facility.

The late term abortion incident occurred Feb. 24-25, Sharpe’s license was
suspended April 1st and his Livonia clinic mysteriously burnt four days later on
April 5th. Sharpe seemed not to care that numerous patient records were blown
all over the property. The abortion clinic was rebuilt and soon back in
business. Proof of arson was never determined.

On January 11, 2008 at his Warren Avenue clinic in Detroit, Sharpe performed an
abortion on a 26 year old woman, 15 weeks pregnant who later died of
complications. The civil complaint filed against Sharpe states that he:
“perforated [the woman’s] uterus, cut a uterine blood vessel, lacerated her
intestines, and liver.” The woman experienced a series of seizures and heart
attacks, had to have a total hysterectomy and a “neurological evaluation
determined that she had massive swelling of the brain due to long periods of
oxygen deprivation.” The woman died January 19th— eight days after the abortion
began.

Also at his Detroit clinic, April 2, 2011 Sharpe performed an abortion on a
woman whom he told “your pregnancy is barely visible.” It turns out that the
woman had an ectopic pregnancy that Sharpe failed to diagnose. Fifteen days
later the woman’s fallopian tube burst, causing the woman to pass out with pain,
hit her head and fall on the bathroom floor. The bursting of a fallopian tube,
due to an ectopic pregnancy is potentially fatal for the woman. The fallopian
tube was subsequently removed. This is not the first time Sharpe failed to
detect an ectopic pregnancy. When doing abortions at Renee Chelian’s Northland
Family Clinic in Westland, MI. Sharpe failed to diagnose such a pregnancy which
resulted in a March 2006 $50,000 settlement paid to the woman.

Back at his house-of-horrors in Livonia, August 5, 2011 Sharpe performed an
abortion on a 23 year-year-old woman, 19 weeks pregnant. The woman complained
that the procedure was extremely painful— “that it felt like he was stabbing
her.” Sharpe called 911, the woman was taken to the nearest emergency room,
where an ultra sound showed that the baby’s fetal head was left in her uterus.
Exploratory surgery discovered the woman’s uterus was punctured at least seven
times and that fetal parts were found outside of the uterine wall. The woman
also suffered lacerations of the cervix and vaginal walls. The woman’s uterus
needed to be removed, resulting in permanent sterility.

Civil suits filed against Sharpe for botched abortions may have led to his
decision to file for bankruptcy last Oct.15, 2012. This means that women,
victims of his abortion practice, will not see a single cent. All their cases
were dismissed by the court 2 weeks after Sharpe filed for the bankruptcy.

In the days prior to Saturday, March 2nd Women’s Advisory in Livonia was up and
running. On Saturday the clinic was dead. One of those praying at the clinic on
Saturday with Lynn Mills noticed that the clinic’s front door was open—yet no
one was in the building. Oddly the empty clinic was left unsecured. Police were
called to the site and locked the clinic doors-- hopefully these clinic doors
will remain forever locked against the killing of the innocent unborn, and the
Sharpe clinics will be a sad, but ended chapter in Michigan abortion history.

Huge credit goes to Lynn Mills for her research in finding the lawsuits against
Sharpe, the death certificate and Sharpe’s filing of bankruptcy – tedious
research that took days to accomplish.

The closing of these two abortion centers comes on the heels of the 2012
retirement of two Michigan abortionists, Enrique Gerbi and Alberto Hodari, one
of the most notorious abortionists in America, along with the shut-down of
Robert Alexander’s abortion clinic in Muskegon.

Livonia police show up at Women's Advisory on the day it closed
its doors, March
2, 2013-- to secure
strangely open front door.

God be praised and thanked.

Needless to say, pro-lifers rejoice in the closing of the latest Michigan
abortion centers. A great—huge thank you goes out to all the faithful pro-lifers
who ever prayed, sidewalk counseled, blocked the doors—pulled babies out of the
clinic’s trash and were a witness to the sanctity of human life at the Reginald
Sharpe death-centers. Pray that he will be converted.

A memorial service for all the unborn killed at the Women’s Advisory clinic in
Livonia will take place in the coming weeks. So stay tuned!

SCROLL DOWN FOR A GREAT REVIEW OF ABANDONED

The Newtown Slaughter:
A Pro-Life Commentary

By Monica Migliorino Miller

On December 16, 2012, Barack Obama visited Newtown, Connecticut –scene of the
slaughter of the Innocents—namely those 20 school children gunned down by a mad
man. In the flash of an eye these precious children, with six adults, were gone
in an unspeakable, unimaginable act of cruelty. Obama attended a religious
memorial service at the Newtown public high school—a service drenched in prayers
to God—notice the ACLU dared NOT raise a voice of protest. There Obama delivered
a speech.

A TALE FROM THE FRONT LINES OF THE ABORTION WAR

A new book by Monica Miller, Ph.D
tells the story of a life fighting abortion

Reviewed by Mark Sullivan (Catholic World Report: December 4, 2012)

“The time may come when we date the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet
system from the appearance of Gulag,”wrote a German reviewer of Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece, The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in
Literary Investigation. It may sound crazy, but the time may also come when we
date the end of legalized abortion in the United States from the publication of
Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars by Monica Migliorino Miller
(Saint Benedict Press, 2012).

I recently began reading the abridged version of Gulag, and I was stuck by
Solzhenitsyn’s descriptions of the injustice and the powerlessness of the people
in communist Russia — in particular, by how fittingly his descriptions of the
power structures of the Soviet system could be applied to the institutions that
promote and protect legalized abortion in this country. I thought it would make
an interesting story, so I requested a review copy of Abandoned. I thought it
would make a good point of departure to talk about Solzhenitsyn.

We Rallied For Religious Freedom --- What Does This Mean?

A Reflection on the October 20th Nationwide
Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally

By Monica Migliorino Miller, Ph.D.
Citizens for a Pro-life Society, Director
Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rallies, National Co-Chairman

As I write these words—the most important election in American history will take
place in just two weeks—an election that will decide the very future of our
nation and so much is at stake. For the first time since the pilgrims
disembarked the May Flower the issue of religious liberty is something that
voters must take into consideration when they discern for whom they will cast
their vote on Nov. 6th. This is the time in which we live! Even with the
election of Obama four short years ago (and for many it may seem like a lot
longer) who would have predicted that religious liberty would be under attack
through this president’s administration in the Health and Human Services
Mandate? Even all those Catholics who voted for Obama—but for whom Obama’s
support for legalized abortion should have been enough of a disincentive—never
envisioned that this president would initiate and stand by a decree that so
seriously compromises the consciences of people of faith. Now Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, all people of faith, and indeed all people of good will have
another serious issue with which to measure current candidates for office!

Obama announced the HHS mandate at the end of January 2012. The Stand Up for
Religious Freedom nationwide rally, immediately in the wake of this
announcement, became a reality, and it is still the only national public event
that has voiced opposition to the HHS mandate—the only event that took this
opposition to the streets and provided the absolutely essential public voice of
protest to this unjust government intrusion into religious practice and
ministry. While the turn out for the 3rd rally was not as high as the first
two-- OK-- well-- let’s put some perspective into the October 20th head-count--

We need to keep in mind that it is very possible that holding the rally on a
Saturday, rather than a Friday, actually contributed to lower attendance.
Weekends are actually a time when families have other duties to which they must
attended. October weather may have played its role and let’s also keep in mind
that many of those who support these rallies and who would have attended the
October 20th event were actually out working for the candidates that support
religious freedom—which is exactly what we want!

This is the 3rd rally since the end of March! There is simply nothing that can
compare to the national scope, success and influence of these rallies—after all,
even the March for Life happens only once a year! That the Stand Up rally kept
the momentum going since March means that the October rally was a huge success.
October 20th rallies took place in 140 cities. This means that we have seen no
less than a whopping 440 rallies for religious freedom in just 9 months with a
total of 150,000 people participating literally all across America—coast to
coast! This sort of public protest is unprecedented!

The October 20th rally attracted tens of thousands of participants—the vast
majority of whom were new attendees! The October rally saw great speakers, great
enthusiasm and more than respectable press coverage!

The following is all that needs to be said:-- no matter how many people come
out, no matter whether speakers are mediocre or spectacular orators, no matter
if media coverage is extensive or poor-- THESE RALLIES HAVE TO TAKE PLACE—AND IF
OBAMA WINS THE ELECTION-- MORE AND MORE PUBLIC OPPOSITION MUST BE LAUNCHED!

These Stand Up rallies have raised up hundreds of new activist leaders—leaders
with fire in their belly who have now cultivated significant organizational
skills to take this movement into the future! New leaders have been raised up
prepared for the fight! That alone is a huge success—and let’s not ever
underestimate the importance of this dimension of what these rallies are all
about!

The October rally is one of the most important ways that public awareness is
kept alive concerning the threat of the HHS mandate—indeed, it may be argued
that this rally was the primary way that attention has been kept on the
injustice of the HHS mandate as our nation heads into the general election. It’s
not just about the rally event itself but the post-rally videos, blogs, Face
Book pages, Tweets, news articles and photos, still being generated, that
extends the rally into the future and also keeps the issue of the threat to
religious liberty alive in these final days before the election.

A great huge heartfelt thanks goes to all the dedicated rally captains. You are
the engine that drive these rallies! Thank you to all the speakers who lent
their time, talent and prestige to these events. Thanks to all the bishops and
religious leaders who spoke at these rallies and gave their support for this
public protest. And thanks to all those who came out and participated in this
essential exercise of our American First Amendment right to freedom of speech
and freedom of assembly.

Let us pray and work for the defense of that primary First Amendment right—the
right to religious liberty—and for the graces needed to stand up for what we
believe against all governmental attacks and persecution –even if it means
jail—even if it means death.

Obama-- "Gay Marriage" is NOT Marriage. Here’s Why.

By Monica Migliorino Miller, Ph.D.

As a pro-life leader, theologian, wife and mother I feel it is necessary for
me to finally weigh-in on the issue of so-called “gay marriage” in light of
Obama’s recently-declared support for same-sex so-called “marital” unions. This
article is not a full-blown treatise on the subject. I intend here to provide a
concise argument as to why same-sex sexual activity is not the moral, social,
cultural equal to heterosexual marital unions—and thus should not be granted
equal status in law. In addition, I will also explain who or what is to blame
for the moral and intellectual break-down on the subject of marriage represented
by the current advocacy for “gay marriage.”
